Dogs check out Prismall

THE Western Bulldogs will have their medical team examine former Essendon and Geelong midfielder Brent Prismall as it decides whether to take a punt on the 26-year-old.

Prismall began training with the club on Monday and will have the rest of the week to convince coach Brendan McCartney he is worthy of the final spot on the Dogs' list. Prismall trained with Port Adelaide last week and it is believed the Power were keen to sign him as a delisted free agent.

Meanwhile, Carlton last night denied that another former Bomber, Kyle Reimers, had been training with them after his name appeared with the Blues on the latest AFL "permission to train" list. The AFL said it would look into it, but it was possible it was an administration error.
